Colombo Stars and Dambulla Giants will cross swords in the Eliminator of the Lanka Premier League. It's been a completely different story for both teams in the second half of the tournament. While Colombo has picked up momentum after back to back wins, Dambulla has run out of gas after a good start.

Colombo was seen as one of the toughest competitions for the title, given the depth they had in the team. However, the big guns were not firing, which led to the team losing a string of games. But in the recent matches, Kusal Perera, Angelo Matthews, Dinesh Chandimal, Dhananjaya de Silva, all have risen to the occasion. The bowling has been very good, with Jeff Vandersay, Seekkuge Prasanna and Dhananjaya de Silva making full use of the slow conditions.

Speaking about Dambulla, their batting has been a big issue throughout the tournament. None of the batters barring Phil Salt seems to be in any sort of form. The bowling is doing well but a team cannot sustain for long if the batters are not performing. 

Pitch Report - The surface has got very slow now, with spinners dominating the batters. It's not easy to time the ball and score quick runs against the slower bowlers. Runs with the new ball is a must to approach a decent total.
